Student of The Year Fanfiction

||Chapter Forty-Two||

Abhimanyu Singh🔱

 Sudo left after his outbreak yesterday and I don't remember ever feeling so alone. It's been two months since Dadi left me, one since Shanaya and Rohan and not even twenty-four hours since Sudo left. I join the other SOTY contestants and finish my final exams. I know I can breathe easily afterwards because the school has organised a trip to Goa next week. I seriously needed a break.  When I arrive at the examination hall, I'm greeted with narrowed eyes-  like I'm being  inspected. " You may begin" the examiner yells. I sigh.

" Abhimanyu Singh?" Mrs. Abraham calls. She's doing the final roll call and he's still not here yet.  "Abhimanyu Singh?!" She calls again,irritated. " Present!" He yells from the door. She marks him  off and tells him to sit down and it's then that I realise that the only spare seat is next to me. He pulls his chair out before sitting on it. Out of curiosity,I look over at him, and he does the same. Our eyes meet and I blush, turning away. His cheeks are flushed and his hair is pushed back as though he was frustrated. Attractive. " Begin your private study" Mrs Abraham says calmly. I open my book and begin scribbling down some notes from Sunaina's tech studies book. Suddenly I feel something warm on my hand, fingers circle around my thumb. I look down at my hand under the table and I see that it's Abhi's hand that joins mine. I take my hand,fitting it into his palm . I look up at him and he's smiling, but he keeps his eyes trained ahead. I can't help but smile too, my hand squeezing his a little tighter. His smile widens and he turns his head to look at me, his eyes sparkling with a happiness that I hadn't seen in ages. It's like we were in a staring contest and neither of us wanted to lose.  I continue to stare into his eyes and he starts clicking to distract me. " You can't distract me" I whisper. The bell rings and I blink. " I think I can" he says, smirking at me, before breaking into uncontrollable laughter. I laugh alongside him as the rest of the class files out . We get up at the same time, dropping our hands as we pack our stuff away.  He takes my hand again, and I lean on his shoulder as we leave the classroom. Whispers follow us as we walk out hand in hand, but I don't care. Not anymore. I turn to look at him again as he says solemnly " I missed you Shanaya. It's weird without you" .  " Well I am pretty fabulous I have to say. I would miss me too." I say, grinning up at him. " Seriously? I give you a sentimental sentence and you give me a lecture about yourself?Im insulted" he says, pretending to be angry with me. I lean up and kiss his cheek, satisfied when he smiles. He pulls me into his arms and I cradle  comfortably into his chest. " I missed you too" I admit, looking up at him. " Well  I would too, I mean I'm pretty fabulous" he says mocking me. I slap his arm,  taking a glimpse at the time  on Abhi's watch.

Abhimanyu Singh🔱

Her eyes widen when she looks up at me. " Oh my god I  so sorry but I really have to go.  I have class in two minutes!" She says, panicking. Shanaya reaches up and kisses my nose, catching me by surprise, before running off to her next class. If there's one thing she has that I don't, it's the ability to run in heels without falling.- that and being the only person who can make me blush.
